I use protonmail and they don't provide smtp access so I can't do git send-mail as easy as other people do. Protonmail has a bridge that deals with that but we don't have it packaged because it's written in Go and it has TOO MANY dependencies. This is not Guix's fault, but it's a problem Guix doesn't help fix either. The only thing I can do with this is just copy-paste the result of git format-patch and hope it's not a trouble for committers. This doesn't mean I'm against the email based approach, in fact, I really like it. The main problem I see is many people inside guix are not sensible to people's problems and tastes. Some people are forced to use tools for several reasons, too. This is what I mean when I say many times emacs is kind of mandatory, and this thread is kind of a demonstration of what I meant because the main discussion evolved to: you can use this or that in emacs to ease the dev experience. I don't think software we use is the main problem, but the fact that we are not always sensible with other people's experience. Cheers, Ekaitz
